Battlefield 3 trailer: 8 minutes of PC gameplay

Do you fancy seeing more of Battlefield 3? If you're reading this, odds are that you probably do, so you'll be pleased with these eight minutes of straight gameplay footage from the PC edition. While you might wish it were the multiplayer being shown off in such great depth, this is nothing to sniff at.

In the demo, executive producer Patrick Bach takes controls of Marine Sgt. Miller for a tank battle and raid on the outskirts of Tehran in a mission named 'Thunder Run' from BF3's single-player campaign. Things explode, and good! Plus, unlike the previous gameplay trailer, it's uncut footage--no jumping to the 'exciting' bits here.

Battlefield 3 is headed to PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on October 25.
